Rayman: Origins, a side-scrolling platformer developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, was released for the Nintendo Wii in November 2011. The game marked a return to the classic 2D gameplay that the Rayman series was originally known for. Players control Rayman himself, with the ability to play cooperatively with up to three other players, taking on the roles of Globox and two Teensies. The game's vibrant hand-drawn artwork and level design are praised, along with its challenging gameplay and fun multiplayer experience. Its genre blends action with platforming elements, celebrating the origins of the iconic character.
